I take a rickshaw to work every day, and today's ride led to an interesting conversation - I asked the driver which app he prefers between Ola, Uber, and Rapido. He said he used Uber until they introduced a daily login charge of ₹40 + commission on each ride, making his costs INR 100 per day. Ola faced backlash for a similar charge and pivoted after many auto drivers removed their app. He now prefers Rapido, which charges only ₹20 daily with no additional commission. Curious, I asked about his profits. For every ₹1000 he makes, his total costs are around ₹250-300 (including CNG), so he pockets ₹700-750. He avoids short-distance rides (<8km) but has a friend in Viman Nagar, Pune, who does short rides and makes ~₹50k, pocketing ₹38-40k (Lot of corporate offices there). He concluded, "Pata hay Uber ko App bhi maintain karna padta hay but thoda reasonable rakho, phir tum bhi kamao aur hum bhi kamayenge." ⏭️The best product insights often come from simply talking to users.

Rapido is the only cab service which gives rides as soon as you book and with their tipping feature it’s faster than ever. Plus the cheapest fares too. Ola and Uber charge higher, make you wait almost every time, and so much so that you’ll start hati
